HAGGERSTON- Began awkwardly, then raced at the rear of the field for the majority of the event. Stewards questioned Trainer M Patterson regarding the seemingly disappointing performance of the gelding. Mr Patterson advised that he was happy with the run and expected the horse to get back as he was a miler and was looking for further. Stewards noted Mr. Patterson’s comments.
 
Race 4: C &D.D.R.C. OPEN HANDICAP 1400M
 
NICK THE SKIP- Raced at the rear of the field for the majority of the event and was disappointing throughout. Stewards ordered that a Post- race Veterinary examination be undertaken. This examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. Stewards questioned Trainer S Iverson regarding the below market expectation performance of the horse. He advised that although he was disappointed in the run today the horse has raced three consecutive weeks including a run Eagle Farm and didn’t back up, his wide barrier and big weight today despite the apprentice’s claim was a disadvantage and would be looking at giving the horse a spell. Stewards accepted Mr. Iverson’s explanation.
